Different Africans use different methods and require different conditions in order to breed. Please state what species you are trying to breed. Most are quite easy.
Oscars are cichlids! They are from the South American group of cichlids. Fish can mate only within the same species. Oscars can only mate with other Oscars.
Would what get along with African Cichlids?
African cichlids come from Lake Victoria, Lake Tanyangyika, and Lake Malawi.
It's generally not advisable to keep brackish puffers with African cichlids. Puffers require specific water conditions that may not be suitable for cichlids, which thrive in freshwater environments. Additionally, puffers can exhibit aggressive behaviors, making them a poor tank mate for the territorial and sometimes aggressive cichlids. It's best to maintain species-specific tanks to ensure the health and well-being of all fish involved.

African Cichlids are from the Great Rift Lakes of East Africa. Mainly Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika.
In the wild, African Cichlids eat plants like blue-green algae and organic detritus. These plants are high in fiber, but provide little nutritional content, so cichlids eat continuously to maintain their metabolism.
The Silver Dollar comes from the soft acid waters of the Amazon. They are not at all suited to the hard alkaline water required for African cichlids.
You should NEVER try to mix African Cichlids with Amazonian Cichlids. It simply can not work. If your tank is set up properly for Africans your water conditions will be slowly killing the Oscar. Please for the Oscars sake get it out of there and in future do some homework/research before mixing species together.
